Tang Bohu and Chou-heung welcome you with all the people of Shanghai!

Footnote content department decided to make a special show in Shanghai and asked me what movie to choose, so I thought of "Tang Bohu Point Autumn Fragrance", an ancient 1993 Hong Kong film, which is not the most classic among many comedies in Stephen Chow. Although I was born as a black film, I found that the four talented people in the south of the Yangtze River went to the garden in the spring after filming in Longtan Park in Jiading District, Shanghai, and they searched all over the world for shooting places like chicken blood.

Nowadays, using Baidu Google to search for "Tang Bohu points Chou-heung" as the key word, there will inevitably be a lot of information about returning to Longtan, and then there will be no more. Other places, such as Washington, Tang Fu ... Where are the classic lines and shots? After a working day's hard search and magical reasoning, these problems were finally solved satisfactorily.

Since it is a Hong Kong New Year film, the shooting and production must be short, flat and fast, and the location can be done in one city, and the second one will never be chosen. Now it has been confirmed to return to Longtan Park, and other locations will not leave Shanghai. As it turns out, it's exactly what I expected (please forgive me for a second), except that the indoor scene was shot in the studio-there were too many fighting scenes, and the studio was more convenient. The location of "Tang Bohu Dianqiuxiang" is all in Shanghai.

Excited, I immediately ran to these places, stood at the shooting point of every classic shot, found the shooting angle of the year, recited those funny lines handed down from ancient times 22 years ago in exact spot with excitement, and reproduced the wanton performances of Stephen Chow and Gong Li in exact spot in my mind, feeling that no second person in the world could appreciate the joy of this discovery.

Is the Grand View Garden just right? Tang Bohu visited Chou-heung.

Shanghai Grand View Garden District

Address: No.701Jinshang Highway, Qingpu District, Shanghai

Transportation: Take the Shanghai-Nanjing special line from downtown Shanghai and get off at Daguanyuan Station.

Shanghai Grand View Garden is said to have been built for shooting the Yue Opera Dream of Red Mansions. However, when the original film is turned out, it is full of the visual sense of the set in the shed. Anyway, a classical garden no less than Beijing Grand View Garden broke ground in the former Dianshan Lake Scenic Area in the 1980s. Different from Brother Park in Beijing, the Grand View Garden in Shanghai is as exquisite as the winding path of Jiangnan Garden, but the overall pattern is more atmospheric than Suzhou Garden. The only fly in the ointment is that it is located at the junction of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, which is too far from Shanghai. I stood in line with a group of elderly cardholders at Shanghai Business School for two hours.

When I entered the Grand View Garden, I had no illusion, ignored the Hongyi Garden in Daoxiang Village, and went straight to the back door of the deepest Grand View Building. Because this is where the West Gate of Washington is located in "Chou-heung in the Temple of Tang Bohu", that is, there, Stephen Chow pretended to sell herself to bury her father, trying to gain Chou-heung's sympathy, and got into Washington, but she was met by a wealthy businessman who sold herself to bury her family. Then the classic line "Xiao Qiang, what's wrong with you, Xiao Qiang?" Let cockroaches win the most recognized nickname.

The Grand View Garden is located in a remote place, and there are few people even on weekends. The back door of Daguanlou is near the edge of the park, which is a no-man's land. I squatted in front of the door and photographed that my mobile phone was dead. I only saw two or three people passing by. I didn't really look at this strange stone carved door, but I gave a strange composition. Alas, the place without stories is cold after all.

In 22 years, the back door of Daguanlou was similar to that in the movie, except for two lanterns. The four golden characters "West Gate of Washington" in the film were obviously put up for shooting at that time. The pine and cypress at the door are still the same, but they are obviously tall and grown up. The most disappointing thing is two trash cans. Fortunately, the picture-in-picture of Weeping Xiao Qiang can be covered with stills.

In the opening scene of the film, a group of literati and poets gathered in front of Tang Bohu's house, waiting for the servant to open the door and throw garbage, rushing headlong into the "Mo Bao" in Tang Bohu. This gate of the Tang family is the "Tijen Tomb" of Shanghai Grand View Garden, facing the main entrance of the Grand View Building across the lake, but it takes a long walk around the lake from the Grand View Building. This is the characteristic of Jiangnan gardens-the scenery you see, and there are many ways to go.

The gate of Tijen Mulder faces south, and there is a pool under the steps. A willow and a wisteria on the shore are here now. It's just that I have been there in winter. In the stills, the wisteria in full bloom is just dead branches and leaves, while the willow has grown to cover more than half of the gate of the Tang government. A pair of couplets in front of the door, "Five willows shine on a famous family, three sets up a scholar before", is obviously tailor-made for Tang Bohu. In order to highlight the comedy effect, the upper and lower couplets are upside down. Now that the couplets are long gone, I stand in front of the door and still read a poet's poem over and over again: "I finally got Tang Bohu's Mo Bao ~"

Tang Bohu lost Chou-heung in the temple and went out to find a boatman by the river. He took out a large ingot of silver and asked him to catch the official ship in Washington. In fact, this pier is also in the Grand View Garden, which is the lakeside step at the archway of "mothering villa" in front of the Grand View Building. This is the center of the whole park, and this lake is also the largest in the park. Looking from the other side of Renmude, you can see the beautiful panoramic view of the archway and the lakeshore.

When I walked to the "dock" where Master Xing jumped down the steps, I found that the cameraman was very dangerous when shooting this shot. Take a step back and you will fall into the lake without any railings around. I am also extremely careful when shooting real scenes. Besides, do you know why the archway in the lens doesn't give a panoramic view? Because the archway is in the middle of the big book "mothering villa", it should be worn.

Mrs. Hua won with her help when she came to Washington to pick a fight. Wang Ning walked out of Washington, got on his horse and left. The desperate man survived in Mrs. Hua's clothes. The Washington Gate here is the main entrance of Daguanlou, and the memorial archway of the provincial family villa is more than ten meters in front. Comparing the real scene with the stills, well, the pine trees are much taller!

Wang Ning came to Washington to make trouble and drove across the bridge with a large group of people. This scene without lines is the biggest scene in the whole film, and it was also shot in the Grand View Garden. The stone arch bridge in the picture is located on the west side of the park, connecting Liyuan and Lixiangyuan. I wonder what happened to the tower in the distant view. After carefully comparing the details of the bridge, I don't think there will be another bridge exactly like this one in the world, but there is a tower in the Grand View Garden, which is just in the wrong position, so it won't appear in the background of the picture.

Back to Longtan and as deep as thousands of feet? Not as delicious as Brother Tang's.

Hui Longtan park

Address: No.299 Tacheng Road, Jiading District, Shanghai

Transportation: Shanghai Metro 1 1 line, get off at Jiading West and transfer to Jiading Road 1 1 to Tacheng Road, Chengzhong Road.

Huilongtan Park is the location of the famous "Tang Bohu Dianqiuxiang", probably because Jiading District Tourism Bureau attaches great importance to it and has done a good job in information collection and publicity. Jiading was an ancient city before it was merged into Shanghai. Back to Longtan, it was dredged during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. There are many historical sites such as Jiading Confucius Temple and Kuixing Pavilion, and there are many 200-year-old maple trees by the lake. Although the garden is small, the ticket is only five yuan, but it still inherits the characteristics of Jiangnan garden, and it is not too small to wander around.

The stone arch bridge next to the ticket office of the park is a place where four talented people in the south of the Yangtze River collectively visit the park and take a catwalk to undress. The four men walked from the "Xingxian" archway of the Confucius Temple in Jiading to the gate of the park, and placed an ecstasy posture at the top of the bridge that made all the girls shy and shy. When I was doing real-life restoration, I found that the camera position of this camera was extremely low, almost touching the ground. It is really well-intentioned to show the tall image of the four great talents.

The place where the four gifted scholars * * * recited the poem "A flock of geese at the foot of the mountain" is in Kuixing Pavilion near Huilongtan. It was built during the reign of Kangxi and destroyed by the reconstruction of 1976. It is the most conspicuous ancient building in Huilongtan Park. In the stills, the gifted scholars are visiting the garden, and the spring is beautiful, but the real scene I took was rainy in winter, and the Metasequoia leaves beside the pavilion were red. There are no white geese in the pool, only an egret keeps diving for food. I wonder if the four great talents are here today?

When I caught a glimpse of "Big Beauty" walking alone on the bridge, Tang Bohu hurried to the bridge to strike up a conversation. This stone bridge is next to Kuixingge, and the rockery at the bridge head is just convenient for condescending shooting. The lakeshore near the bridge has been repaired a lot in the past 20 years, and the shrubs have grown a lot. When restoring the scene, you should hold your mobile phone high. When the picture-in-picture was taken, a cruise ship happened to pass by. This effect of crossing the intersection of ancient and modern times is really rare!

Then Tang Bohu finally met Chou-heung. Pilgrims from Washington marched past the gate of the Confucius Temple in Jiading and walked past the "Yanggao" archway-the words on the archway should be read from right to left, not the "Yanggao" I heard from tourists and children. Tang Bohu squeezed into the crowd downstairs under the "Xingxian" brand and smiled at Chou-heung. At first I was unmoved, but the flowers were set off by green leaves. After the departure, Chou-heung was as beautiful as a fairy.

Longhua Temple by Huangpu River? I came to Zen in 9527.

Longhua Temple in Shanghai

Address: No.2853 Longhua Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai

Transportation: Shanghai Metro 1 1 Line Longhua Station.

More than 480 ancient temples were left in the Southern Dynasties, and countless pagodas were shrouded in wind and rain. There are many Buddhist temples with strong incense in Shanghai, and Longhua Temple is one of them. Because it is located near the Huangpu River in Xuhui District, the temple incense money (that is, the ticket money) is also very cheap. I just walked under the Longhua Tower, and before I entered the temple gate, I saw an endless stream of pilgrims walking around the tower devoutly. I am a staunch atheist. I don't buy incense or kowtow. I walked grandly through seven courtyards with my mobile phone, just to find the footprint of "Tang Bohu Electric Domain Lane".

Chou-heung followed Mrs. Hua into the incense and pretended to be beggars with four talented people in the south of the Yangtze River in order to get Chou-heung's charity. Tang Bohu really fell in love with Chou-heung after seeing her enthusiastically mingle with beggars-"It turns out that the most beautiful smile in the world today is a loving smile." The temple where Tang Bohu fell in love was Longhua Temple.

The place where the four gifted scholars dressed as beggars and put on the clothes of the beggars' sect together is in front of the Hall of Daxiong in the Sanjin Hall of Longhua Temple. In addition to adding a plaque of "Longhua Ten Square" in the main hall, the other incense burners in front of the door have not been moved.

The picture of Mrs. Hua marching into the temple is embarrassing. After the filming, Longhua Temple kept pace with the times, and a new bar-shaped Lohan Hall was built in the open space on the right side of the screen, dedicated to the golden body of 108 Lohan. The shooting angle in the stills can't be completely restored, and the Longhua Tower in the background can't be so prominent in the stills, which is a small regret.

Now that we are in the temple, let's shoot all the plays in the temple in one breath. So when I stepped into the Mahayana Hall and looked up at the Buddha statue, I found that this was the place where Chou-heung worshiped Buddha and Tang Bohu came forward to flirt. Probably because the Buddha statue of Tathagata is so magnificent that even the posters handed down from ancient times were taken here.

Today, there are still an endless stream of worshippers in the Hall of the Great Hero. Because of the extremely strong incense, the temple reshaped the golden body of the Tathagata and added Buddha light to Manjusri Bodhisattva on both sides. My hand holding my mobile phone to take pictures is a little shaky, and the momentum is too aggressive. In the background of Tang Bohu's flirting with Chou-heung, the couplet of "Lohan shows his magical powers" has not changed.
